Grapes: Trousseau Gris
Body: Medium
Category: White Wine
Rare, almost extinct plantings mean that production of this much sought-after wine is even lower than usual.
The wine has a wonderful texture, a golden-pink hue in the glass, and aromas of citrus, melon, and crushed stone, white tea with a light floral and savory character.
winemaking: 100% Trousseau Gris from Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. The Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard is dry-farmed and practicing organic, with the Trousseau Gris block dating to 1981. The fruit was foot crushed and left to macerate on skins for three days before being pressed to neutral puncheons and stainless steel for fermentation. The wine was matured in neutral puncheons before bottling.
